We live on the shores of Puget Sound, across from Seattle. We moved here in 1999, and slowly began building vegetable gardens, herb gardens and planting berries, edible bushes and trees. This blog is about keeping track of our food garden. We have never been very good at garden event logging. Things like planting dates, sprouting times, first frost, last frost, when things flower (read “bolt” in the vegetable garden), when we dug the potatoes or pulled the garlic. These are important things to know when growing food. So, here it is - our garden log. Please leave comments on our articles, and definitely pass on advice. We are learning to grow food, and finally are trying to get slightly serious about doing it successfully. So, welcome. Browse around. Leave comments. We can always learn something new.
